As many as a tenth of civil servants are very bad at their jobs, Kemi Badenoch has claimed.

The Conservative leadership contender went on to joke some were “‘should be in prison’ bad”, drawing laughter from the audience at a Tory conference fringe event.

Undermining their ministers and leaking official secrets were among the accusations former minister Ms Badenoch levelled against civil servants.

Talk’s Julia Hartley-Brewer discusses the story and the Tory leadership contest with former Conservative MP Steve Baker.

She is most definitely wrong, it's way higher than 10%

20% of civil servants should be summarily sacked. Badenoch is being generous.

The Tories as a whole have no interest in confronting any problems, including the serious problems in the civil service. Which is why Badenoch will probably lose the leadership election, and the Tories will probably lose the next election.

The Tories do not to be united, they need to be reformed.

Civil servants not only sign the official secrets act but must also follow the civil service code of conduct. This forbids them to leak information, deny and obstruct ministers; if they do then they are in breach of their sworn duties and should be punished accordingly.

...if 10% should be in prison then i reckon at least another 30% need to be encouraged to 'change career'...

its amazing how the inefficiency of the civil service has increased along with the number of people it employs... 🤨

You must never speak the truth if you want to be PM.

If the Conservative Party reject her as their leader, Kemi should join Reform where true 'conservative' values are warmly welcomed.
True 'conservatives' should all turn their backs on todays limp Tory Party personified by Jenrick and Cleverly.

With more than 500, 000 people employed full time in the civil service as of March 2024, five to 10% would amount to between 25, 000 to 50, 000 staff members.

That's a generous estimate.
Term limits for civil servants

First it WAS A JOKE. second any large organisation that does not have 5% poor performing workers is doing incredible well. Kemi has rightly identified that governments and the Civil service have all been managing our decline not willing to drive forward. Hence the love of Brussels who do all the work for them. This ex-minister is clearly happy to allow this steady decline rather than upset some people. Let’s be clear as an ex-civil servant myself I wholly agree with the view that the majority are looking to help, allowing for the problem of wokery, but wanting to do a good job and doing one do not always coincide.

When the whole ingrained uniparty political system rejects you, you’ve got my vote. Cant wait for the James Cleverly, Robert Generic administration one nation party. Was her statement hyperbolic, sure. Taxpayers who are sick of the blob understood what she meant.

It’s the uncivil service lots could be sacked for not fulfilling their contract implementing policies of the gov and being apolitical especially the home office who throw up roadblocks over immigration and brexit

Maybe a bit ott but I must say agree with her. I think we should sack all the civil servants and replace them with people who know their place.
